Family Law

Family Law covers the legal relationships between family members, through blood relations and marriage and is the area of law that deals with divorce, legal separation, parental rights and obligations with regard to children of the marriage, paternity, alimony, child support, and related matters. In uncontested matters, Albright, Stoddard, Warnick & Albright is able to expedite the finalization of divorce cases.

For families experiencing divorce, the following issues must be addressed: child support, custody and visitation of the children; spousal maintenance (alimony); and the equitable division of the marital assets. We work closely with you and your family to craft agreements on these issues that take into account the particular circumstances and needs of your family. Rather than having resolution of these issues imposed upon you by a court that is unfamiliar with your family's needs, we encourage our clients to develop agreements without litigation, so that we can maintain control over the process. We also provide mediation services to parties desiring to avoid litigating family law issues. Let our knowledge and experience in family law help you and your family make a smooth transition.

Divorce/Separation

Divorce is the common term used when the court dissolves a marriage. The court will enter orders concerning allocation of the marital assets, child support, parental rights and obligations, child custody and alimony or spousal support.

Separation is an optional period between the periods the couple does not live under the same roof until the divorce becomes official. Separation is sometimes recommended in cases of potential physical harm to a spouse or any children involved.

Child Custody/Child Support

Child custody refers to who has legal responsibility for actions governing the child (or children) as well as the physical aspects of where the child (or children) live.

Visitation Rights play an important part in all proceedings associated with child custody and child support.
